Test / POINTy edits
Edits such as diff are not acceptable even if reverted immediately. Icewhiz (talk) 09:48, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
 * You are quite right, they only serve to draw attention to oneself, and to those perhaps in b’nail about the degree to which their spying on US citizens (even if performed through intermediates) is noticed, and it makes no difference if such edits are performed spontaneously, unlike a long-planned campaign visit to Moscow to recover a brither’s remains Vesuvius Dogg (talk) 12:25, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
 * And this diff in 777 characters probably won’t impress the gematriastical establishment, those who have planned so far ahead, who never take a day off, even and aspecially for an auto-da-fé of election Vesuvius Dogg (talk) 19:05, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

When I see that dual-loyalty charge coming from a congresswoman who first signaled opposition to B.D.S. and then support for it, when I see it coming from a congresswoman who has never been to Israel, when I see it coming from a congresswoman who, to my knowledge, has never criticized the Palestinian leadership for its corruption and failure — time and again — to seize on peace overtures from Israeli leaders who, unlike Netanyahu, actually wanted to forge a two-state solution, when I see it coming from a congresswoman who seems to be obsessed with Israel’s misdeeds as the biggest problem in the Middle East — not Iran’s effective occupation of four Arab capitals, its support for ethnic cleansing and the use of poison gas in Syria and its crushing of Lebanese democracy — it makes me suspicious of her motives.

Something there is that’s churlish in quoting at length a three-time Pullet Surprise-winning columnist I largely and broadly agree with on matters concerning Israel (that hat trick puts Ol’ Tom Friedman right up there with Frost, possums!), and particularly in regard to my old nemesis-in-spirit and stalker-in-real-life for more than 30 years, since before even his election to the Knesset, dating to my conscious knowledge from the time he paid a visit to the Oxford Union, and the minions surrounding him pointed me out to him in a crowd of a thousand... who was I then, but a Kansas Kid on a Rhodes Scholarship, who had spent all of eight days in his life in Israel, whose direct matrilineal Jewish lineage was a closely-kept family secret within the United States for—at that point—nearly 90 years? What interest did this Heroic Figure, who had taken a bullet decorously through his shoulder while his brother died, have in me, a student of poetry, music, and history? I scarcely involved myself in politics, then or now; I was not then nor since an advocate of BDS or Israeli boycotts. Why, I hadn’t even visited the Occupied Territories in my brief December 1987 passage through the Holy Land, and scarcely aware that the First Intifada began the eve of my arrival; so what interest did Netanyahu have in having me pointed out in a crowd for him from the dais, and in studying me so intently, before he began his speech? I was the littlest ‘x’ on panic’s bottom line, and surely that reality hasn’t changed now, has it?

Friedman is always worth reading carefully and in full; his columns ask for engagement, and it is in that spirit that I call him out on what I most strongly disagree with, his assertion thst Iran is an effective “occupier” of four Arab capitals. If ever an aside deserved to be supported with a hyperlink to well-sourced New York Times reporting, it would have been that; I fear the confusion between (mere) Shiism and non-Saudi/Sunni sentiment with « occupation » is a bit glib, particularly with BiBi and Trump ginning for war; it certainly misrepresents Iran in its territorial ambitions, I think, “region of influence” being quite a different animal than “occupation”.

As for Ilhan Omar, her “transgressions“ are easily forgiven, by me certainly, and by her constituency, one hopes, in the fullness of time. IT IS all about the Yahoos on this Election Eve (“It’s an Election, Eve, not ‘Election Steve’,” as the wag once writ) we ought soberly to consider what is at stake, and whether a unifying peace or a dividing war (that will surely sweep Israel up in ruin) will define the time to come. It is 5:00 am on the 9th Avril in Tehran as I post this, 3:30 am in Tel Aviv. It is no surprise that Trump and BiBi are on the same page. Good lick to them both in the 9th Avril, Jane.. it is all in your hands now.

Comments
Please knock off with the non-English edit summaries; they do little but waste the time of people reviewing your edits. Why should I have to run to a translator to figure out you are making an appreciative, not a pejorative, edit summary when you write it in Hungarian or Arabic or whatever? --jpgordon&#x1d122;&#x1d106; &#x1D110;&#x1d107; 17:45, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I will endeavor to give English edit summaries first — redoubling my diligence in that respect — but the non-English summaries (often as not from poetry) give context for native speakers, and I do edit with an international mindset, the English-language Wikipedia serving as flagship. I am flattered anyone might feel compelled to “run to a translator” to find out if my words are “appreciative, not ... pejorative”, but I must admit, it really is the people who can read them perfectly well in their mother tongue who are best left to make that determination, according to their own cultural contexts, with something (inevitably) lost in translation for those who require translation, or suspect I might be “wast[ing] the time” of those “reviewing your edits”.
 * Why, who would think my edit summaries should be under scrutiny—why me, of all people? I’m only one person, trying to improve the encyclopedia, and I always source my work... May I ask, was there a particular edit or comment which, in translation, seemed “pejorative” to you?
 * As a rule, when the subject is serious or happens to touch me on a personal level, such as here and here, for example, to be staid in my summaries.. [don’t finish that sentence a fictive voice tells me] Though perhaps when my editing touches a third rail, like this, I could do better than offer a glib summary such as “waterboi” ... people have been killed in this world for less, after all. And just as the Soviet Artist makes a reply to Just Criticism, I’ll take leave here on a note of contrituon, promising to drink more from the David-joon than the David-joob in the future... that last one funny in Farsi, by the way.

Speedy deletion nomination of Edward Shillito


A tag has been placed on Edward Shillito requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Dusti*Let's talk!* 01:05, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Go ahead, just delete it... The article, which I created just a few hours ago (with the intent of turning it into a DYK) was accurately written, accurately footnoted already to two independent Reliable Sources, had been positively tagged by other editors ...  Not to mention that the article’s subject, a minor but notable poet of the early 20th C, was already in Wikiquotes (which surely in itself would suggest he met notability requirements, I would think, but no...) Anyway, it’s too darn exhausting to be drawn into this fight, it’s days of work and distraction just to lift a Speedy Deletion, and it is disillusioning, and quite likely, given this strange world and the way we live now, the act of somebody who wants to teat or marginalize me for other reasons, whether they realize that consciously or not.... Forgive them, for they know not what the doo-doo they step in....
 * With that, I’m done. Dogg’s had his day. I AM DONE.

Edward Shillito moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Edward Shillito, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. —teb728 t c 04:45, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Alice Tegnér postage sheet Sweden 2014.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:Alice Tegnér postage sheet Sweden 2014.jpeg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Replaceable non-free use File:Tongdaeng Thai postage stamps 2006.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:Tongdaeng Thai postage stamps 2006.jpeg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  00:01, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
